I was having difficulties walking (it all cleared up, never happened again! And right now I can't remember why) at this one point around the time TBWP was out.

So I, my sis, and 2 friends were eating out in NJ before a Springsteen concert.
Well, she (a sometimes snarky person) started in on the TBWP.

I remember she started putting toothpicks (and maybe something else) in at different angles in her mash potatoes.
Well, by the end we were all in hysterics!
And the laughter helped me a bit.
(by the time the concert was over I was so flooded with the right kind of brain chemicals by the sheer fun and energy that I felt much better)
